Children entering school today have a “high probability of rarely or never being taught by a teacher from an Asian, black, mixed or other ethnic minority group”.
A disturbing and uncomfortable new report shows that teachers from black, Asian, and other ethnic backgrounds are notably over-represented in applications to postgraduate initial teacher training (ITT) and yet less likely to be accepted onto courses.
Furthermore, teachers from these backgrounds are also less likely to be promoted from middle to senior leadership and are under-represented at “all stages of the teacher career pipeline”.
